• The effect of uncertainty in "field of the day" treatment regimes in proton therapy 

  Grantham, Kevin (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Purpose: A common practice in proton therapy is to plan a treatment using multiple fields, but only deliver a subset of those fields for each fraction. This practice could lead to increased uncertainty in the treatment. ...

• Validation of radiation treatment planning with a pseudo-CT derived from MR images 

  Pereira, Gisele Castro (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Historically CT has been the necessary for radiation therapy dose calculation due to its inherent density information. However there is increased interest in using solely MR for treatment planning. This study describes the ...

• Aerosol evolution: explorations in DSMC and sectional techniques 

  Campbell, Shawn A. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Understanding and improved modeling of aerosol evolution in nuclear reactor accidents is important in estimations of the nuclear source term as it is greatly affected by the formation and presence of aerosols in the reactor ...

• Synthesis and evaluation of radioactive gold nanoparticles for cancer treatment and imaging 

  Al-Yasiri, Amal Yousif (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  This research study explores an appropriate method for production of radioactive gold nanoparticles that may be more appropriate for treating cancer. The first protocol includes using a nontoxic and antitumor phytochemical ...

• Developing a non-destructive evaluation technique using resonance ultrasound spectroscopy for fission based target 

  Iasir, Abu Rafi Mohammad (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

• Knowledge-based Radiotherapy Treatment Planning 

  Olsen, Lindsey Appenzoller (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Knowledge-based planning (KBP) has become a prominent area of research in radiation oncology in the last five years. The development of KBP aims to address the lack of systematic quality control and plan quality variability ...

• Cross correlation calculations and neutron scattering analysis for portable solid state neutron detection system
